Get OVER it

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt

This week really just taught me that I'm going to have to take some risks. A lot of risks. I think to do that I'm going to need to be a lot better at believing in myself and my ideas. I really liked this quote from Theodore Roosevelt because life will be more exciting and vibrant if I shoot for things I dream about than if I play it safe.

The Heart of Entrepreneur article really made realize that I'm much more on the trustee end of the scale, worrying about security and feeling threatened by change. I need to work on being more of a promoter, taking risks, and seize opportunities. Of course, I don't want to be at either extreme, balance is good in all things.

Also I want to remember this question:

"So the question for the would-be entrepreneur is:
How can I make innovation, flexibility, and creativity

operational?"
                              -The Heart of Entrepreneurship by: Howard H. Stevenson and David E. Gumpert

Also, being confident is important but so is being humble. Don't be worried if you're not number 1 (at least not right away) just be happy that you're even in the top 100! 


Basically, it's time to get over my fears and launch forward with faith. Have fun while I'm doing it. Learn from my failures! Relish in them even. Then jump back into the game.
